we know that because pluto and charon are in tidal equilibrium. charon is spinning at the same rate as pluto spins. there's no exchange of tidal energy anymore. that process took place pretty quickly after the giant impact. very small fraction of the age of the solar system. that must have all been a long time ago. it's not contributing to the energy budget currently. >> we'll take three questions. one question as only so we can get through media. we'll go to the phone lines take a couple questions from social media and come back here. >> cliff mcmurray i'm one of the people in the room that can remember when the first pictures came back from mariner 4. at the time you could hear the balloons popping the atmosphere is thinner that i thought it was. tonight i hear excitement but i don't hear balloons popping. it seems plutow is kind of the world that we thought it would be. >> i'm completely surprised. i would disagree with the assertion. in my case, i certainly didn't expect charon to show nearly the degree of different terrains and variety or the

and it is time to consider maybe the charon could have formed recently? >> all of the dips are methane ice and the other features are subtle and will require model to pull them out. just drawing your eyes to the right hand side of it. you can see it going down to almost zero. the red one doesn't go down to zero. that tells me there is something else present in the red terrain that scatters light where methane absorbs strongly. there is an example of these things. you can corner me later and we can chat as long as you want about this stuff. i don't want to put people to sleep. but there is a huge amount of information in the data. >> okay. let's go to the phone line. i believe we have a question on the phone line. >> caller:https://18miles.wordpress .com/2010/05/20/please-stop- saying-committed-suicide/ the spectrum that was referenced and a question from a alan stern. what specification are you going to get and how will you be able to map it up against the terrain? some of the stuff is looking like waste i saw teaching organic chemistry. will you map wher

[applause] >> while you enjoy this beautiful eye candy, the pollute charon system is revealed in color by new horizons and you see a binary planet. enjoy the view while i tell you a little news about new horizons. the spacecraft is doing very well. as jim said we are little over two million on the far side of pluto, the spacecraft is performing according to plan. we exited the nine-day close approach encounter load yesterday. we are in the first of our departure science load. so we are looking back at the planet and looking at the night side and doing various experiments and spending our time down linking data. we have been downloading a lot of data. so we have big news. and i expect we will have more big news next friday when we downloaded even more. i will have to tell you, i am a little bias but i think the solar system saved the best for last. i am going to show you some things here. i will start off with a little news. if i can have the next time stamp or graphic here. let's see if we can bring it up. there it is. okay. that is not very many pixels but that is pluto's satellite ni

if we see cracks on charon's surface, and especially if we can see some venting from charon's surface that would be really cool. >> reporter: clyde tombaugh would heartily agree. in 1930, he discovered pluto at the percival lowell observatory in flagstaff, arizona. tombaugh named his quarry pluto for the roman god of the underworld, conveniently the first two letters are percival lowell's initials, and coincidentally, about that time, disney's cartoon dog of the same name first appeared on the silver screen. underdog indeed, and yet the ninth planet just the same. but the dogged march of scientific discovery set pluto up for a cosmically unpopular demotion. >> as we had been discovering larger and larger and larger objects, that i-- in my opinion, it made no sense that pluto was called a planet, and it shouldn't be a planet. >> reporter: that's astronomer-- and pluto killer-- mike brown appearing in the pbs nova program "chasing pluto." starting in 1992, he and his colleagues discovered a region of large rocky, icy planet shaped debris at the outer edge of the solar system. it's calle

he had good sizes for both pluto and charon. in the years past we thought charon was very icy and please don't have much more r=ock. now they are much more similar. pluto seems to be a bit rockier. in terms of what the inside of pluto is, without gravity data it is hard to be absolutely definitive. that is one way we test our models of planets when we fly by then. everything we see, all activity we see is consistent with the idea it has a massive rock core surrounded by huge icy shell, and that shall -- and that shell is probably figure. it raises test it increases the probability there may be an oce an way down under a single mayor of ice. that is something you keep in mind as pluto. one of the things we learned not just the size of pluto, but it was close to spherical. we cannot detect any old lateness in the body -- bo oblateness in this body. pluto probably was spinning very fast after what we believe to be a giant impact that led to the formation of its satellite. after that, pluto and charon are close together and tides ha

it is telling us charon has much less atmosphere than pluto but we cannot put strict bounds of that yet but the spectrum will be down linked but now with the much more rare atmosphere that confirms the pre-encounter version. it maybe there is a thin nitrogen there in the atmosphere or methane but must be very tenuous compared to pluto emphasizing how different they are despite the close association in space. also speaking to the fact we now have the data for pluto that it was time to to arrive visit was passing behind the planet to measure the refractive index of the atmosphere. we got it. it is data and they have a wonderful scientific surprise measured at the base for the first time in history was substantially lower than predicted that probably tells us the story but i would like to close with the time stamp a silhouette to look back after the flyby. with the apollo earth rise. you can only get that image to cross to the far side and look back.

and the moon charon is not what we expected. it is hugely instructional.ra: what do think of the giant mountains. they are like the rockies people are saying. chris: we think they could be formed by methane and nitrogen ice. neither of those can make a mountain that tall. maybe it is water ice. then you can think of a huge reserve of water ice billions of miles away from earth, how that could have formed, and why are there no greater scars? all of these things have happened really recently in geological terms, how can that be? it is like finding a new species of planet, which is just like finding a new species on earth. it teaches us about history and the current status of things. laura: more images are coming in. what will you be looking for in knows? chris: all of it is a little self-centered. we are interested in what it means for us. what can we learn from something so distant about our own planet. i think the earliest or nation where did this little planetoid come from? it is a building block that built the earth? what is the environment like? what is

we have decent masses for both pluto and its companion charon and we have good sizes for both and so we now have accurate density values and so in the years past we thought charon was very icy and had much more rock and now in fact they are much more similar but though still seems to be the rocky world of the two and as we will go into building the new models into testing the new models of the evolution of the system in terms of what the inside of pluto is without the gravity data it is hard to be absolutely definitive everything we see, all of the activity that we see is consistent with the huge icy shell and then it's probably a little bit thicker and all other things being equal it raises come it increases the probability that there may still be an ocean wave down underneath that is a theoretical inference writenow that it's something that we are keeping in mind as we explore pluto. one of the things we also learned not just the size but we also learned that it was very close. we can't detect any browned bits in the body. some people will run around the solar system and look at th
